[QUOTE="Iamwipedouttoo, post: 330812, member: 7829"] At our therapists suggestion we removed all privileges a few months ago. In our daughter's case it took her a good two months to finally accept we were not kidding and to start working to earn priviledges back. Our biggest problem with her I think is her impulsivity. She doesn't think about what reprecussions she is facing until after the fact and then gets mad at us for dishing out what we spelled out in the first place. Anyway She did eventually get home tonight. But only after her texting me with her demands (rides to work - which I agreed to but told her, as always, were totally dependant on her being respectful with no name calling or yelling). She decided she wasn't capable of that and told me she wasn't sleepign at home tonight regardless of what I wanted. I told her I was proud of her the past week or so and wondered what had changed today. She said she wanted to sleep in. I asked her why she just didn't call and she said she thought I'd be mad and she didn't want to deal with it. I encouraged her to just come home for the night so we could move forward and put this behind us and she made it pretty clear that she had every intention to not do what I wanted. Then she got to her friends house and was confronted with the fact that I had talked to the mom and deal with the consequences of her actions. I'll spare you the details of the text message I got when she found that out. It was not pretty. After some intervention on the part of her friends mom, she showed up, not happy. I told her I appreciated her making the decision to come home. She ignored me. Ran up to her room. I texted her that I loved her and again told her i appreciated her coming home tonight. All I know is I am so frustrated right now. Tomorrow is a new day, though, right? [/QUOTE]
